Of course, that product reveal also left many of you asking the question – what about BLEACH? Well, it’s finally time for us to lift the lid in full on our plans for this particular shonen powerhouse, so start powering up your bankai while you read on to find out what we have in store for you!<\/p>\n

Before we start though, a quick note for your calendars – pre-orders for BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1<\/em> begin on August 1st<\/strong>, while BLEACH Part 1<\/em> pre-orders begin on August 15th<\/strong>. Both pre-orders will open at 5PM UK time<\/strong>, so now you’ve set reminders for those important dates and times, let’s proceed!<\/p>\n

Before we get on to the classic, original BLEACH series, let’s start with a quick detour towards the newest iteration of the series, as this will be the first to hit retail!<\/p>\n

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1<\/h1>\n

As opposed to the original show, which ran as a single series across a multitude of arcs, the brand-new continuation of Ichigo’s saga is split into clear seasons, and so for BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War<\/em> we’ll be releasing this across per season sets, beginning (of course), with its first season. Let’s take a look at the contents of our Part 1 Collector’s Edition!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This release follows our typical Collector’s Edition release model which will be familiar to many of you, boasting a rigid slipcase with hosts an Amaray case (with reversible sleeve) for the two Blu-ray discs which contain the full thirteen episode season, together with a lovely 76-page art booklet packed to the brim with artwork, episode guides, behind the scenes content discussing key scenes with director Tomohisa Taguchi and original author Tite Kubo, and a whole wealth of character design artwork.<\/p>\n

The BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 Collector’s Edition launches with an SRP of \u00a369.99, but as always expect to see discounts to this price across all of the usual retailers. For our part, we’ll be launching with our usual Early Bird pricing of \u00a339.99 for one week after the launch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For those who prefer it, we will of course be giving the series our typical Standard Edition Blu-ray treatment, with all of the same on-disc content presented in an Amaray case.<\/p>\n

Alongside this, we’ve also cooked up something a little special for customers of HMV specifically – whether it’s in-store or online, you’ll be able to find an HMV-exclusive version of BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1 with a bonus O-card featuring the show’s original key visual!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Both Collector’s and Standard Editions will hit retail shelves on Monday, 30th September<\/strong>, so set aside some time for a bit of quality anime viewing when your copy arrives.<\/p>\n

As we mentioned up top, pre-orders for BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 1<\/em> open TODAY, Thursday, 1st August<\/strong>. Make sure you’re ready by bookmarking the links below, as we’ll be running an Early Bird offer for the Collector’s Edition of just \u00a339.99 (versus an SRP of \u00a369.99) for our pre-order launch week!<\/p>\n

BLEACH (2004)<\/h1>\n

During the Paris Japan Expo event, we gave you all our first sneak peek at our first Collector’s Edition volume of the original “classic” BLEACH<\/em> series, and we were met with a wave of excitement, but also plenty of very understandable questions, so let’s delve into our release strategy for the entire 366-episode series and how you’ll be able to own and collect it!<\/p>\n

We’ve spent quite some time hard at work on finding the optimal way to bring the series to you on Blu-ray, and given the length and configuration of the series we’ve ultimately conceived of a strategy that we believe brings fans of the show the best of both worlds – a full, BLEACH <\/em>Collector’s Edition experience but without an eye-watering total cost of ownership. So, here’s what we plan:<\/p>\n
